i9incher's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[States of Decay]

Chill AF. Always liked your style, very spoke word / Slam Poetry style in it's delivery. Definitely attend a few open mics and poetry nights in KC and have heard pieces done in this style.

Really only thing I would recommend is adding in a chorus with a hook vs the quotes. Don't think it would take away from the piece at all and could be a cool add on.

[Slaughterhouse]

Holy shit this track is phenomenal. The atmospheric build up, the chaotic drum breaks, taking me to another planet with this shit. As a fellow Breakcore DnB artist on Newgrounds this shit is peak.

[FUCK THE WORLD]

God damn this goes so fucking hard. God Damn it Bary where have you been my whole life?

Hey I'm from the KC discord. This was cool, reminded me of death grips a bit. Would do well in a Madness Video. Keep it up. 💪

[Astral Collapse (feat. FlowerBoyDemii]

Hey came from the discord. I like this one, it has a cool mellow vibe to it while being engaging enough for active listening. Also felt like it gave enough variety to be interesting enough to listen to the whole thing. The intro is a little long, but that makes sense for the structure. Always happy to see fellow Newgrounders out in the wild.

Hey came from the Discord. You got some good ideas here for sure. I would add in some additional leads after 4-8 measures to keep the track fresh, or do some cool edits by alternating the drum better with some interesting cuts, stops, etc. Atmospheric breakcore/jungle gives a lot of room for nice synths that can alternate between being a lead AND rhythm, so really experiment and see what all you can come up with and make it sound really cool!

I'm getting a cool chiptune mixed with a bit of industrial and 90's dance vibe in this. I just went to a Breakbeat show here in KC a few months ago and that genre ALWAYS slaps live, especially on giant subs. Very school seeing the mix of new and oldschool.

[The Game (2023 Version)]

Wow, this is like right up my avenue. Love 50 gospel style mixed with an upgraded feel. IDK if you have ever played the Wasteland series, but there are a lot of songs from the Wasteland 3 soundtrack that you would fit perfectly for, especially with a couple of covers.

Also gives me a bit of Ghost vibes from what I'm hearing. Added this to my Spotify, as well as your song that girl.

Keep going, you have a lot of huge potential for growth. Great sound.

[Utterly Deranged (Madness Day 2023)]

Very nice, I believe that's a sawyer lead at around the 48 second mark yeah? From my experience, madness tracks use a lot of Sawyer, Toxic Biohazard, Poizone, and Vanguard. So a lot of SAW ;) I think you also nailed the sound of the drums and the feeling of constant movement, while keeping the track interesting as it goes along. Good work.

Albe responds:

Yeap! Tried to use as many saw-like/acid-like synths as possible, with a couple of creative liberties taken here and there. Unfortunately the first three plugins you mentioned are exclusive to FL which I don't use (I might be able to use FL vst on Cubase but I'd still suck at using the interface lol), but I'll definitely study them and find alternatives that work just as well so thanks a lot for the info and thanks for your feedback overall!!

[SH - All Alone]

Bruh, how the FUCK did I not know you released new shit to NG in 2021? You're a legend man I listened to your stuff religiously back in the day. You still got it!
